Abstract (en)
A coated surgical fastener (10,30) is provided for an easy visualization within tissue. The coated surgical fastener includes a core (22,40) and a relatively non-reflective coating (24,42) applied about the core. There is also disclosed an illuminated staple cartridge (48,62) for use with a surgical stapling device having a light source. The illuminated staple cartridge includes a transparent insert and a relatively nontransparent U-shaped outer channel at least partially surrounding the transparent insert. Windows formed in sides of the U-shaped outer channel allow defined amounts of light to project from the sides of the illuminated staple cartridge.
